[MCU] Captain Marvel is in the End game Far From Home.

It's still August and yet we're out of MCU stuff this year. But, never fear! 2019 could be the best year EVER. Starting with CAPTAIN MARVEL!

Trailer 1

Trailer 2

Captain Marvel stars Brie Larson as...Captain Marvel! Our first (and extremely overdue) entry in the MCU to have a woman lead. For those not in the know, Captain Marvel a.k.a. Carol Danvers is a former Air Force pilot who gains the powers of a Kree warrior named Mar-Vell and becomes basically the most badass space warrior there ever was. She's fighting them out there so we don't have to fight them here. Marvel head Kevin Feige says that she'll probably be the most powerful Avenger yet and has a huge role to play in phase four so this is definitely one to watch out for. This comes out in March!

I hear maybe we'll get the Captain Marvel teaser relatively soon. After that is...

*TITLE CARD TO COME SOON?!*

Avengers 4: Infinite Avengers (just a guess on the title). Who lives, who dies, who tells their story? Find out on May 3rd!

We'll wrap the year up (with webs, get it?) with:
Rumored to take place not in America with Jake Gyllenhaal as Mysterio and potentially the last Marvel Studios Spider-Man film (please god no). What will happen abroad? Will new MJ and Peter Parker get together? Will Sony and Marvel hash out a new deal? Find out when Spidey: Far From Home releases in JULY!

So that's all we know for now. Everything else is unannounced presumably until well after A4 to prevent spoiling.

Do you think you know what's going to happen in A4? Document it for all time here! You can put in your guesses until the first scraps of information start leaking about the movie. Cutoffs will probably be when the trailer drops but possibly sooner if there are leaks/spoilers.

I still feel like we're going to get news of a renewed contract or deal between Marvel and Sony, maybe closer to Spider-Man's release. They've set him up as a big pillar of the post IW MCU, and I can't see any of the parties involved just letting that poof away.

Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.

I also think we'll see a deal but I'm maybe 60-40 or 70-30 in favor. I think if Venom takes off and is a hit they might be like "Woah we need Spider-Man back we've got this figured out."

I think on one hand the part where Sony let's marvel do all the planning and they just pay for it and make the money is pretty good and us as close to betting on a sure thing as there is. On the other hand, the fact that they've kept everything else and are trying to make their side universe seems like they might try to take it all back once Marvel's redeemed it. They could just as easily say "we relinquish everything back as long as we get paid in perpetuity."

I think Sony's side of the equation is unsustainable. I don't think many of Spider-Man's villains are that interesting without him. Spider-Man will be fine on his own, but who would the Sinister Six even fight? The villains are designed as foils to him. Morbius, Venom, Doc Ock, et al just aren't as interesting in a vacuum.

The rumors that they're going to use Silk as a main protagonist is very interesting. I think there's a lot of room for them to try without Spider-Man. Silk, Miles Morales, Mayday Parker, Spider-Gwen, etc are all pretty interesting options for them and they could really try to be a leader in regards to inclusion. Cindy Moon is a Korean female, Miles is a half black half latino male, Gwen is a female, etc.

There are interesting avenues there but they're harder and I just don't know that Sony is willing to try hard when they can get the low hanging fruit. Granted, Into the Spider-Verse is a thing so maybe I'm totally wrong.

I think a lot of it will depend on Venom. If Venom crashes and burns, then I would expect a new deal keeping Spidey in the MCU. If Venom goes big money, then Sony will probably take Spider-Man back and fuck it up again.

Also, I'm thinking Avengers 4 will be titled Avengers Forever. It was an old Avengers comic series, and acts as a celebration of the Avengers. Also, it sticks it to DC for Batman Forever.

"Avengers Forever" was floated to the Russos at some con and they said that it was wrong but the closest guess yet. So "Infinite Avengers" is pretty close.

I grow increasingly offended that Shazam already has a very good trailer out and we ain't got shit for Captain Marvel which comes out the month before.

DC needs to push Shazam.

Yup. At this point, Marvel could hold off on all marketing until a week before release, have their trailer be a 15 second still of a placard with the name, the symbol, the Marvel logo and the date, and it'd still be a massive hit unless the film is unparalleled garbage.

DC are still trying to establish credibility with the general population. Marvel don't have to do that.

I'm very uninterested in the A4 trailer. I think it's highly unlikely they show us anything remotely revealing unless they just lean into "everyone seeing this is genre savvy enough to dispense with the trickery."

Just seems weird it'll be barely a month after Marvel that we'll get A4

I kind of disagree with their new pattern of spring, early summer, mid summer releases. I think May/July/Fall would be fine. Granted, in this particular instance I am okay with getting A4 into my face as soon as possible.

I think Sony's side of the equation is unsustainable. I don't think many of Spider-Man's villains are that interesting without him. Spider-Man will be fine on his own, but who would the Sinister Six even fight? The villains are designed as foils to him. Morbius, Venom, Doc Ock, et al just aren't as interesting in a vacuum.

It all depends on who's making it. In the comics numerous excellent, critically acclaimed stories have been made of these people which they can delve into (they won't). The weak spot isn't the mythology, it's Sony itself. Give the characters to Marvel's and they'll make wonderful, intriguing stories, but you can't do that with incompetent studios.

The only reason I wouldn't bet large on A4 being called "Avengers Assemble" is the fact that they kind of already used it for the UK release of the first movie, thanks to the fact that "The Avengers" also refers to some '60's spy show.

So I'd probably bet on "Avengers Disassembled". Pre-existing comic book name, pretty darn accurate name for the state of the movie.

Eh I feel like they'll go with a more triumphant sounding title. It will be their greatest victory ever.
